A Lesson in Exchange.

1t was in the days of the early rail,
road, when it was yet new; the day,
when the journey to New York was
less of little jaunt than it is now
when greenbacks were not popular
here, says San Francisco paper.
One summer morning man, walking
in happy and feverish haste, with wild
excitement beaming all over his face,
stepped into the Office of a we'll known
banker.
II want exchange for this on New
York"
Gall right, what is iti"
The man looked fearfully around
him and then brought out a packet.
"Its $4,000 in greenbacks."
II guess l can do it. Going east ?"
Eyes, I'm going tomorrow. 1
don't want to carry all this with me.
Couldn't do it. Sure to get robbed.
So give me draft. How much ?"
"Oh, seeing it's you, l per cent !;
$3.50"
"It goes"
So the banker made out a draft on
New York and took the money.
you're going tomorrow, are your"
Eyes"
would you mind taking little
parcel for me, and hand it to my
brother Z"
Certainly. I'll do it with pleas
ure."
The banker went into the other
room and presently came back with
the parcel.
"Just put it in your valise. and
don't lose it, wiH your"
"Ill take the best care Of it."
Thank you. Good by. Pleasant
trip"
Arrived at New York the Califor-
nian went to the address and deliver
ed the package. Then he presented
his draft. The man opened the pack
age and gave him the same $4,000
in greenbacks he had in SanFrancis-
co. He had carried them all the
way himself.

Yanked in BY a Lily.

Not so very many days ago a coup
le-newly married-stopped at the
Ryan for the night. They hailed
from somewhere in the valley of the
Red district, and had money enough
to make small ripple in the city.
The bride retired early; but the
groom, still feeling his oats, went out
to see the town. He visited num-
Der of the private resorts, and about
midnight found himself in the hotel
elevator, Calmly trans6xing the
hoist boy with his eye, he addressed
him my boy-ish swere's my BRIDE
ish 7 Swhere's my turtle dove ?"
The boy of course could not answer
him. But finding the number of his
room he attempted to take him there.
"Noshir !" said the inebriate. "Ish
to shiny cooling dove.
She's the roseh of the valley, she is"
EVERYBODY in the rooms along the
hall was awake by this time, and sew
ersl heads peeped over the transoms.
"She's-a-a-a-hic-lambsh" he
continued; "a swan of the shea.
Where'sh she I? Thatsh what wat
hic-to know? Whosh stole my
cuckoo from mesh ?"
By this time they were at the door
of his room. 1t suddenly opened, a
hand and arm clothed in white was
thrust out, and the unfortunate man
yanked in with terrific jerk and this
remark:
Here's your rose of Sharon and
lily of the valley, you blamed old
fool. Go to bed w-Ex.

An Economist.

"That hoard of old Paine's" said
an ancient Andoverian, poking his
wood fire ardently, while the sleet
beat tattoo on his window panes,
reminds me of a story of one of our
champion economists, who lived on
Hot Creed Hill, near the theological
seminary. He was a mighty profess
or in his day, and set so close an ex-
ample of thrift that if the old adage
about penny saved being a pound
earned had been true he would have
made Andover Seminary the richest
foundation in the Union.
"One day he stopped in at one Of
our town stores to buy a hat. The
shopman showed him two one for
SO and one for IS. While the old
gentleman stood hesitating. as If he
could be happy with either were
t'other away, the salesman said bland
ly: If you will permit me, pro-
fessor. should be pleased to make
you a present Of this hat holding
out the most expensive one.

Damon and Pythias.

A very hard-up looking man enter
ed a grocery ON Fort street west the
other day and said to the proprietor
81 have come to give myself up.
My name is Damon"
"No one wants you that I'm aware
Of" replied the grocer.
"But my partner, Pythias. stole a
cake of maple sugar here the other
day, and I've come as hostage until
you can catch him. Excuse me if I
slice off bit of this cheese and take
a few crackers"
"But l haven't missed any sugar"
perhaps not, but Pythias took it
all the same. / saw him an hour ago
and told him ! should wait here
until he surrendered himself. Beg
pardon, but I'll take herring to 60
with my crackers and cheese"
What did you say your name
was ?"
Damon, sir, and there's nothing
mean about me! When l pass my
word nothing on earth will make me
break it. l. this sweet milk in this
jarY All! there; but you will excuse
me if l take a glass"
"Look here, you old beat, / want
you to get out of this" exclaimed
the grocer, who began to see color
ed man in the fence corner.
"But agreed to wait for Pythias. T"
81 don't care a copper for Pythias
or you either There's the door,"
81 promised Pyth. I'd wait here.
What will he say when he finds that
Damon has lied to him ?"
$50 you won't go' Well, you will
Now, you come along. and take that
and that-and thatw
The grocer pulled him to the door
and bestowed three hearty kicks on
his coat-tails. The man received
them meekly and kindly, and when
the performance was over he walked
across the road and turned and said :
"All right. If Pyth. comes along
just explain how it was. Tell him
old Damon is waiting for him down
in the saloon at the corner."-Free

She Died Happy.

DIR. Swan relates a sery sad case of
the ruling passion strong in death. I
always believe doctors story, except
in a case of cure. If the patient dies
you never hear anything but the
truth. If he lives the doctor has to
find some explanation of the phenom-
enon. Doctors. of course, see a great
variety of human nature, and espec-
tally its weak sides. This is touch
ing story Of young and fair girl,
leaving the bright world while the
dew of life was still lying on its morn
ing glories. You can imagine the
sadness Of the scene The growing
certainty of the cnd-the passing
beauty of the world-the bright Wis
ion of all the happiness and the joy
the heavy shadow hanging over all.
1T is hopeless" said the gentle
doctor "you cannot live"
"And must | die Z" she asked.
You cannot live"
"Tell me doctor, one thing before l
CO."
"What is it ?"
docs the hair change color after
death ?"
NO"
Then l die happy. I'll look as
well as those Smith girls on the day
of judgment, anyway."-Ex.

Pleasures of a Snow Blockade.

The recent railroad blockade re-
calls story that a distinguished
Maine gentleman tells against himself.
Some years ago he was making jour-
ncy down East when his train became
snowbound. 1t was then evening, and
there was no hope Of progress until
daylight. But near at hand was a
little village which boasted a public
hall. 1t was suggested that the pas
sengers adjourn to the hall and listen
to an address by their distinguished
fellow traveller. He finally consented
to do his part the hall was warmed
and lighted, and the lecture took
place. The next day the lecturer was
approached by a sturdy young yeo-
man, who said:
you're the man who made the
speech last night, ain't you ?"
The identity being duly established
he went on:
II want to thank you for it, don't
know when I've enjoyed myself more
than / did when you were talking"
The orator experienced the genial
glow which unconventional and un-
sought praise is W. mt to inspire, and
he cordially took the honest fellows
hand.
"Yes," the young man continued,
"it was good thing. You see, my
girl is on the train, and while you
were lecturing she and had the car
all alone to ourselves. Boston Rec
